Make Your Own Artifacts from the Future

Here's a site that allows you to make your own newspaper headlines, appearing to be straight out of a real dead-tree edition. (In my case, the New Youngston Gazette. What? You thought it was something else?)

I just keep an eye out for such things. This one isn't too bad. The font's not quite right, but it's a good approximation of a typical paper, and perfect for making artifacts for foresight consulting engagements.

I chose 2016 to be a bit provocative with it, and I just liked the idea of people living in a world that *we* would clearly describe as post-Singularity remaining worried about the implications of a Singularity they feel is still on the horizon.

The Future is always much more prosaic by the time it becomes the Present-Day.
